He Didn't Need the Min-Cash Anyways

Level 19 : 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
Jerry Yang - out
Jerry Yang - out

As far as we're aware, we've officially run out of players who are millionaires eight and a half times over.

A player in early position opened the pot to 10,000, and Jacob Naquin flat-called in middle position. From the hijack seat, Jerry Yang four-bet to 60,000. That was enough to fold the initial raiser, but Naquin was unconvinced. He proceeded to reraise all in on a five-bet with his covering stack. Sneaky, sneaky. Yang was pretty much committed for his stack of ~180,000 with pocket jacks, but he had run into a bigger pair. Naquin flipped up two kings, and Yang was drawing slim.

The dealer failed to keep him alive with a board full of blanks, and our last World Champion has fallen just shy of the money. Yang was recognized over the speaker system, and he said a few quick words to the remaining players before he headed out the doors.

Naquin is now in command of the biggest stack in the room with about 660,000 chips in front of him.
